### 2/5 — Больше похоже на прототип приложения

*2026-07-01*

Нет настройки размера шрифта в просмотре а базовая настройка огромные буквы, не работает с системой айфона «открыть в..» открывает приложение, но не документ, в предложениях системы тоже нет действия. Не юзабельно на реальных задачах

### 3/5 — Ошибка текстового курсора

*2026-06-03*

Ошибка текстового курсора. Как воспроизвести: ввести две строки текста, поставить курсор в начало файла, сделать перенос строки, начать вводить текст в первую строку - после первого введенного символа курсор самостоятельно перемещается в конец файла

### 2/5 — 阅读模式不好用

*2026-06-01*

阅读模式下字号不能设置，表格等不能渲染

### 2/5 — Please support Japanese typing

*2026-05-09*

When entering Japanese, the input of consonants is confirmed before entering vowels, and it cannot be entered correctly.

However, I think it's very good as an English editor

### 2/5 — New file bug

*2026-05-01*

I got a bug, so that I could not create a file in a folder on iCloud Drive. The button text changed to “+ Recent Files” and it did not create a new file when clicked.

### 4/5 — 似乎不支持数字

*2026-04-06*

不过其它很好

### 4/5 — Search within text file

*2026-03-19*

I would like to locate words within text file

### 3/5 — Simple and easy, but ..

*2026-03-16*

A simple editor that’s easy to use.

It would be nice to have included:
• word-count,
• char count,
• internal markdown reference.

Other editors offer more, but if you’re after simplicity for quick and easy markdown notes then this could serve you well.
When markdown tags are inserted the text is automatically updated to reflect those tags.
The built-in preview is handy.

Of concern is the last update being 5 years ago, and feedback concerns have been ignored.
Both of these suggest that development has been abandoned.
For this reason, I cannot rate it more than 3 stars instead of 4.
The small improvements mentioned at the start would make it an easy 5.

### 2/5 — Free, but….

*2026-02-19*

Editing the documents are essentially impossible.  Cursor jumps to end of document after pressing one key.

### 3/5 — Simple enough but has problems with saving

*2026-02-07, version 1.0.3*

I experienced several times that the text I just wrote was deleted by and “older version”. Maybe because a slow connection or something. But it’s very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Great Potential a few Dealbreakers

*2026-01-02*

Bug 1, when editing, often the cursor jumps to the end of the file.  on a long markdown this can be beyond frustrating. i use Koder to edit now and skip using this app until the file is edited.  caveat... this app seems to cache old versions and ALWAYS saves after touching a file!! that's catastrophic at times.  but simply saving by reading is pretty terrible.

the reason i continue using it at all is because rendering to a pdf makes creating pdfs i can share for reading on iphone... very easy.

i hope the author fixes these defects.  but considering both these complaints go back 1-4 years, it seems not likely.

one can hope though.

### 3/5 — Cool but

*2025-10-23, version 1.0.3*

Sometimes cant create new files

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Impossible to edit text, always sets cursor back down to the end of the document

*2026-07-02*

Unusable in its current state

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-20*

This thing doesn’t work for editing. As soon as you get the cursor where you want it in a document and then hit a key with the keyboard, it moves the cursor to the end of the document. Every single time. I thought it was a quirk at first but you can’t edit inside documents.

### 1/5 — Nicht brauchbar

*2026-06-20*

Mit externem Keybopard auf dem iPad spring der Cursor dauernd von der Textstelle ans Dokumentende. Man kann damit nicht arbeiten.

### 1/5 — Incredibly Frustrating

*2026-04-03*

I get this app to edit an exiting markdown file.  Editing the file with this app was so incredibly frustrating I gave up.  Every time I made any change it jumped to the bottom of the file.  It was a whole cycle, scroll to the place I wanted to change, jump to the bottom, scroll, jump, scroll, enter on character, jump, scroll…. I deleted the app after less than 5 minutes.

### 1/5 — Vote of zero confidence

*2026-02-28*

I’ve just spent an hour using this tool to edit a local PRD document on my iPhone. Already I have had 2 very bad things happen. First, the text that I pasted and was editing simply vanished for seemingly no reason. After continuing to edit this document, I began to receive a loop of errors saying “could not save”.  The scary thing here is that I could not get out of the message loop until I disabled mobile network to force my phone to only use WiFi.  WHY does my network have any effect on using an installed app to edit a local file?  Is it attempting to save/steal my documents by pushing it to a cloud server in the background????????!!!  Highly suspicious and untrusting of this app after that!

### 1/5 — 傻福软件

*2026-01-10*

碰一下就乱跳，动不动就跳到最下面，很难使用，预览模式还看不了一些语法

### 1/5 — 只能在最后一个字符后添加文字，没法中间改东西

*2025-12-27*

辣鸡

### 1/5 — Should be removed

*2025-11-25, version 1.0.3*

I read the review that said this app was unusable because it didn’t save the .md file. I tried the app out and that reviewer was right!

The UI is SO kludgy. It’s like the developer didn’t understand how to do toolbars. 

After deleting the app, noticed the last update to the app was 5 years ago. How is this thing even in the App Store anymore?

### 1/5 — Don’t know when will the file save

*2025-11-17*

You never know when the file will save as .md, all typing disappear.

### 1/5 — Modifications disappear

*2025-10-08*

Using Nextcloud, editing a file, no way tonsave and closing loses last modification

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app, powerful and simple input

*2026-07-04*

please is there any way that we can input language other than English but still have this fluent flow?

### 5/5 — Best md editor

*2026-07-01*

The best one on ios

### 5/5 — Super!

*2026-04-18*

Die App macht genau, was sie soll!

### 5/5 — Got pro for free

*2026-01-22*

No ads or purchases. Love it

### 5/5 — Not the most intuitive UX but works way better than most markdown apps

*2026-01-09*

It's not super intuitive on how to use. However, once you figure it out, it does have a lot of features and functions and it's much better than a lot of the shady Markdown apps created by unknown mystery users available in the Apple App Store.

### 5/5 — It’s free but useful

*2025-12-09*

The volume of this app is very small, and the function may enough for your daily writer or some lighter things you should do

### 5/5 — Супер для iPhone/iPad 👌

*2025-12-01*

Удобно читать/писать, конвертировать, использовать для отличного взаимодействия с LLM (ИИ), вес файлов минимальный, спасибо разработчикам!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-12*

Simply lovely

### 5/5 — Quality

*2025-10-30, version 1.0.3*

M.ust D.o*

### 5/5 — 感觉很不错
